+[[!meta title="DSL"]]
+
+A *DSL* is a *domain-specific language* ([[!wikipedia Domain-specific_language
+desc="Wikipedia article"]]).
+
+Compared to general-purpose programming languages, these are a candidate for
+[[open_issues/formal_verification]].
+
+DSLs are frequently used as [[IDL]]s for implementing [[RPC]] systems, but can
+also used for other portions of the [[kernel]], such as [[capability]] systems.
+This is exemplified for [[microkernel/Barrelfish]] in
+{{$microkernel/barrelfish#fof_plos09}}, for example.
